Guitar market strikes a nostalgic chord

Guitar market strikes a nostalgic chord

Even with prices slightly dropping, it looks like guitars are solid investment. “A Gibson Les Paul Standard that sold in 1958 for less than $300, including the guitar case, can now fetch $420,000 or more — an average annual gain of 32% since 2000, according to vintage guitar price guides.” Not a bad return I’d say. Hey, can anyone spare half a million so I can pick up a couple used guitars?
